WHO: Meghan McCormack & Fred Weasley WHEN: Sunday, late evening September 18, 1997 WHERE: The WWW WHAT: Scene Lottery! Undo this hurt you caused RATING: PG-13 for language. Fred curses. :-P OPEN/CLOSED: Closed
Fred was tinkering away at a new project. Which was, of course, not all that unusual for him to do. What some people might have found unusual was a) it was a muggle boxing glove he was messing with and b) he was doing it at the counter where everyone could see. He figured it couldn’t hurt since normally Sunday evenings were pretty slow. Everyone was starting their work week the next day and didn’t usually stop in at the WWW at this time. And nowadays most people were used to seeing Verity running the counter. He figured that every now and then she deserved a little time off from doing that.
Unfortunately Fred wasn’t having much luck with trying to get the charms he was trying to use to work correctly with the glove and that was actually rather confusing him. It shouldn’t be difficult. It wasn’t like there was any sort of technology in the glove that could be shorting out because of the magic. It was just fabric! He was actually getting a good deal frustrated which is what started the unfortunate series of events. It really was a pity.
The door had just chimed to let him know someone was entering when he gave a harsh flick of his wand at the glove and sent a blast of magic full of angry intent at it. He had just enough time for the widening of his eyes and to give an ‘Oh Shit!’ look when the glove got hit with the magic and soared fast paced away for him, straight toward the unsuspecting person entering. “Duck and cover,” he called out frantically despite the fact he was quite certain that the person wasn’t going to have time to do either of those things.
